Bug#564033: tasksel forces installation of many useless packages on hr locale setups even when you don't select anything



Quoting Josip Rodin (joy@debbugs.entuzijast.net):

Well, most languages do include *spell packages in the default non
desktop install. This is indeed most often the only thing that's
listed in the relevant tasks.

So, it would seem logical to me that the decision about "should we by
default install some spelling software along with the needed
dictionary(ies) in localized non-desktop systems" should be a general
decision. Either all language tasks include a dictionary or none of
them does.

Of course, what I say here doesn't apply to texlive-* packages which
are not in other language tasks.
